“What the hell are you doing?” She turned around.
“Following you. Why?” My brows furrowed.
“It feels like something is hitting me from behind. Oh, my God! Don’t you dare say what I think you’re going to.” She pointed at me.
I couldn’t stop laughing. “That’s proof right there that you haven’t forgotten everything about me.”
“You were throwing blueberries at me, weren’t you?”
“Maybe.” I picked one up and put it in my mouth.
“You can’t do that. You have to pay for those.”
“Sure, I can. We’re paying by the container, not by the pound. I can toss all of these at you and still pay the same price.” I grinned.
“You’re so immature, Kind.”
“What did you say?” I stopped in the middle of the aisle.
“I said you’re so immature.”
“No. You called me ‘Kind.’ You always used to call me that.”
“I did?”
“Yeah. You did.” I smiled.
This was the happiest I’d been in a long time, and I couldn’t wait to take her out on a date. I pulled into the driveway and unloaded the groceries when the dealership pulled up with Charlotte’s new car.
“Dr. Kind?” A man climbed out.
“Yep. That’s me.”
“I just need your signature right here.”
I signed the paperwork and handed him his clipboard back.
“Here’s the keys to your new car. Enjoy.”
“Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your day.” I smiled as he climbed into the other car that followed him.
Charlotte walked out of the house and stopped when she saw her new car.
“Is that it?” She pointed.
“That’s it. Go take a look.” I handed her the keys.
“Oh, this is beautiful.” She smiled as she climbed inside. “I love it, Conner.”
“Yeah. I know.” I sighed, and she laughed.
She climbed out of the car, shut the door, and surprised me when she wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Thank you.” She hugged me.
Tears sprung to my eyes as I held her tight and refused to let go.
“Conner, I can’t breathe.”
